Human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) remains best known as an oncogenic virus, but nonneoplastic disease manifestations, such bone marrow failure or hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) have gained greater recognition in recent years. In organ transplantation, HHV-8 infection commonly occurs with reactivation of latent virus among recipients from endemic regions the world due to transmission donor. We describe a case HHV-8-associated HLH liver transplant recipient at increased risk for primary...
Abstract Background Team‐based learning (TBL) is associated with improved end‐of‐course exam performance, but the impact on long‐term retention unknown. We compared of three teaching methods: traditional case‐based small group discussion (TSG), TBL or no reinforcement short‐term understanding and after a haematology course. Methods Knowledge assessments were conducted prior to, immediately 14 months course completion. Several topics covered by TSG switched to could be directly compared....
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in pregnancy. Multiple physiologic changes pregnancy contribute to the increased risk VTE. VTE this setting presents unique challenges for diagnosis management. Evidence-based diagnostic practices include limiting D-dimer testing, reliance on ultrasound V/Q scan when possible, counseling patients their families safe use CT imaging chest needed. Anticoagulation primarily relies low molecular weight heparin, but...
Introduction: Vertically integrating physiology into patient care has the potential to improve clinical reasoning. Clinical Physiology Grand Rounds (CPGR) is a case-based teaching method that brings together students from all years of medical school focus on linking presentations core basic science concepts including anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology. In this study, we describe implementation CPGR at two different institutions in United States assess student-reported outcomes.Methods:...

Specialty clinics can be challenging for students on the internal medicine clerkship. They often lack specialized knowledge necessary to fully engage in clinic and may pushed into an observational role, rather than being afforded meaningful opportunities. These peripheral roles undermine self-efficacy, and, therefore, education interest. We sought improve self-efficacy of attending non-malignant hematology clinic, as well enhance interest medicine.
Background: Unequal access to telemedicine services exacerbates health inequities and was evident at the start of COVID-19 pandemic. We sought explore whether unequal persisted within a classical hematology division beyond peak COVID-19.
Platelet storage pool disorders (PSPDs) constitute a diverse group of hematologic abnormalities, which share the common feature deficiency in ability platelets to aggregate. Parturients with PSPD can present management challenges their care team when they for childbirth, especially regard neuraxial anesthesia. We report series 2 deliveries from unrelated patients affected by PSPD. In particular, we highlight utility rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) and need multidisciplinary approach...
The income gap between specialists and primary care physicians among is well established, but the drivers of this difference are not delineated. Using Community Tracking Study (CTS) Physician Survey, we sought to isolate compare premiums paid for specialization proportion time spent on offices visit rather than procedures. We divided medical subspecialties according Medicare billing Evaluation Management (E&M) codes specialty as a whole. report substantial differences in across physician...
Introduction This team-based learning (TBL) exercise focused on hemolysis and hemoglobin structure function. The goal was to emphasize content that directly impacts clinical practice, but oblig...
